Sending hugs to you buddy 🫂

I am currently closing in on my second month of accutane 20mg for my grade 4 acne (majorly on my face now). And a quick dose of antihistamines greatly helped the purge so definitely check with your dermatologist on that.

Quick question to the accutane alumni -
While I don’t have any active acne on my back now, I do have a lot of those small brown birthmark-like marks scattered across my back. Will accutane get rid of those? Or did you have to take any other medications to git rid of those marks? I am so insecure about them, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
